Feedback from guests who toured Iceland during December.
Anonymous | Traveled in December
This trip was incredible. Iceland was a dream destination and this trip allowed me to see as much of the country in a week as possible. Each day was something so unique and peaceful.
Anonymous | Traveled in December
This trip was a last minute decision and it was one of the best that I have made. It was a very full itinerary but there was lots of time and a full explanation of what we were doing and seeing. The food was very good, as was the accommodation. Our tour director was extremely knowledgeable and the group size was just right.
Debra L. | Traveled in December
Seeing the big blue chunks from the glaciers in the lake and the black diamond beach across the street. Loved Blue Lagoon swim and the singer/guitarist/comedian the first half hour of our farewell dinner was awesome! Our Tour Manager, Villum, was the best!
Pamela C. | Traveled in December
Our tour guide and bus driver were fantastic - Luiz and Thor. The waterfalls glaciers black sand beaches, everything was great. Just needed more time for shopping and local eats.
Leslie W. | Traveled in December
The whole experience was spectacular! Seeing the glaciers, the magnificent waterfalls, the volcanic landscapes, swimming in the hot springs, the variety of food at our breakfast and dinners. Getting to know people from different places and countries was amazing! Made many new friends. Since we didn't go in November, we didn't get to see the puffins but the black beach and the diamond beach were unbelievable, something I will never forget! The tour guide and the driver had so much experience in the Iceland area that there was nothing that we did not know. We pretty much stayed in the south end of Iceland and saw many waterfalls some frozen and some just magnificent! I would love to go back and see more of Iceland when the puffins are there and when daylight is more than 6 hours long. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. Colette did a wonderful job planning this amazing adventure. Thank you again. Leslie Winker from Oregon

Tour guide was amazing!!!! We got to see northern lights!!! Hotel in Vik was just ok but service there was very good. Hotel Borg was the best. We could have used a weekend day In Reykjavik to visit Christmas market. Really enjoyed the trip. Once in a life time vacation. Thank you.
